-Trailer camping Cost is $50/night and includes the taxes, fees and rally fee. PRE-REGISTRATION REQUIRED
ARRIVAL: Absolute earliest you can arrive is 12 noon on Thursday - PLEASE allow us time to get set up and prepared for your arrival. Use the address above for directions and follow the signs when you get there.
PARKING: If you want to park next to someone you should plan to arrive together to ensure that happens. Parking will be unlike Mt. Baker in that we will be guiding you where to park since space will be tight. Please organize yourselves in a way that you can park, unhitch and move your Modern tow vehicle to the designated parking area in a timely fashion. Vintage Tow vehicles can remain with your trailer. This year we will park on grass on the other end of the Fairgrounds. There will not be picnic tables at every site. We have a few folks that help us tremendously during the rally and as the organizers we may have a couple spots roped off for them. We ask that you do not save spots.

Tables: There will be some tables available in the Expo Hall for you to share with others - first come first serve. If you're at all concerned there wont be enough then possibly consider bringing your own. I have no idea how may folks are going to participate or even how many tables they will want so it's hard for me to know if there will be enough for all.
Set up: Yes, you can start setting up your goodies on Friday night AFTER dinner has cleared but there will not be anyone "babysitting" this all night so do so at your own risk. This is like a garage sale of your trailer parts, vintage wares, or whatever you think others might like.
